In January, I published MarketMasterAI’s top 500 stocks to buy for the first half of 2024. The AI-powered system ranked the largest American firms by market capitalization and chose what it believed to be the best investments for the next six months.

It’s no secret that tech stocks are on fire. The major American stock indexes have reached new highs in 2024, with growth and technology companies leading the way.

Lucid stock (NASDAQ:LCID) burst into the scene with its sleek, high performance luxury electric vehicles (EVs).

Nio (NYSE:NIO), which at one time traded for as much as $62.84 per share, now trades for under $5 per share, putting NIO stock firmly in penny stock territory. However, investors have rightfully bailed this China-based EV manufacturer. I’m referring to more than just fair weather fans of the stock. As InvestorPlace’s Eddie Pan reported

Semiconductors are being called the “oil of the 21st century.” Much like energy reserves, the U.S. government is securing reliable sources of semiconductors to fuel economic and technological growth. By 2030, the U.S. could produce 20% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors, according to American Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. The U.S. currently produces between 10%

“Let your winners run.” That’s the advice I gave two months ago in arguing for investors to not take profits on winning investments even if they seem like overvalued stocks.

Undoubtedly, AI is still the name of the game for many gain-hungry investors. The boom is unlikely over. Now, good economic data combines with

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock reflects the falling prospects for high-end electric vehicles (EVs). During the last decade, the Chinese company was pitched as a direct competitor to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA).

Down more than 35% on a year-to-date basis, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock has been an under-performer, to say the least. Now, the overall EV sector has been hit hard by a number of headwinds. Some of these are macro and sector-specific. However, like many of the harder-hit EV names, Lucid has production and deliveries problems.

After rocketing higher on fiscal 2024 third-quarter results in late February, C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock now trades 15% below where it stood before earnings came out.
